FANTASTIC! Such fun! Walking tour was nice – then went to the restaurant. Staff there was wonderful and the food was EXCELLENT. Our group of 11 actually handmade the 3 pastas we had for lunch – and then the staff made the sauces. We ate as a group, and were given a website for the recipes!!

We had a fantastic night cooking an excellent four course dinner, which we then ate (accompanied by some very fine wine of course!) with the group we had worked with. Superb! The chef on this course is wonderful; he makes the cooking class interesting and fun. Thoroughly recommended!

The best tour we did in Europe. Andrea and the two chefs were excellent. Started at the markets and got told all about different types of products with tasting, really interesting. Food was outstanding and leaves you wanting more. Didn't even notice the 5/6 hours fly by as it was that good.

The cooking class was a ton of fun and was presented in a way that I will be able to repeat the recipes at home! Chef Alessandro make the class fun, interactive, and communal.

Wonderful, fun, informative!! I learned so much from the tour of the market and the small presentations made there about oils, balsamics and cheeses to the actual cooking and discussing of the recipes and techniques!! I have even made the recipes at home to rave reviews!! Thanks for a great time and fabulous learning experience!

I loved my cooking class, it was a fantastic time. Making your own pasta is easier than you think. Our chef was humorous and informative, the perfect combination. Also enjoyed the market tour and learning about olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

It was a wonderful cooking experience. I went with 17yo grandson who really enjoyed the village and the cooking. I lucked out to a small class of 3. It would be crowded with more than 4. Monica our instructor was great. Hotel pick up was no problem, taxi took us to meeting place.

This was a very enjoyable tour. Just the right of amount of walkiing and then cooking! It has inspired me to make pasta at home! It was delicious and Fernando was an excellent teacher.

Great tour, great cooking class! But I would consider the trip to the cook's home next time, just because the video looked like so much fun. Tour included Trevi, which I loved!

This was a fantastic tour with Monica as our chef and guide. We went in November which was low season and she picked us up cheerfully, even though it was only my husband and I, and we set off on a culinary/travel adventure. She is so lovely, knowledgeable, patient and kind. She asked what our goals and food interests were and then she developed a plan with us while driving to the country to fit our interests. My number one goal was to learn to make pasta and she taught me how to make artichoke/ricotta stuffed ravioli, lasagna with bechamel sauce, roasted pumpkin and sausage, and fettucine with wild mushrooms. I will never go back to box pasta. We also made a fantastic chicken dish with balsamic vinegar, bruchetta, roasted potatoes with rosemary and stuffed tomatoes. For dessert we made tiramisu. We chatted all day in the wildly unique environment-- an ancient but totally renovated house in the village overlooking the river-- great kitchen-- drank wine and learned a about food, the Italian culture etc. We were so spoiled by Monica-- we did have her all to ourselves, but I suspect she would treat everyone that way. She is a very hard worker. Fabio, the owner, is lucky to have her and so were we. Thanks Monica for your graciousness and a splendid day-- TC and Dennis
